Democrats love to blame rednecks. In this case many republicans have decided not to get the vaccine. It’s my bet that is because a large number of republicans have little or no trust in their government or the Democratic Party propaganda spouted by the liberal media.What happens?
Enough of the rednecks who refuse to get vaccinations catch it. Some of them remove themselves from the Gene pool, the rest get natural immunity.
I doubt that anyone will go back to lock downs or masks. People are too fed up with that
Currently republicans tend to be more patriotic than democrats. Patriotic Americans have always harbored a significant distrust of government. Many current democrats want to see this nation turn socialist which requires an enormous amount of trust in the government.
However it might be wise to also try to convince minorities (who usually vote for democrats) to get the vaccine.
The 4 main fault lines that divide the vaccinated and the unvaccinated
Age, race, income, and, of course, politics.

Regions where large majorities backed Donald Trump in the 2020 presidential election have far lower vaccination rates than people in areas that voted for Joe Biden. The effect is visible at the state level and the county level, and it scales with the share of the vote. Almost all US counties below 20 percent vaccination rates lean Republican, and almost all above 65 percent lean Democratic.
But there are other fault lines as well. “There have really been persistent gaps between white people compared to Black and Hispanic people, with Black and Hispanic rates lagging behind pretty consistently across states,” said Samantha Artiga, vice president and director of racial equity and health policy at the Kaiser Family Foundation.
At the start of July, the vaccination rate was about 15 percent lower for Black people than for white people in the US, and the rate for Hispanic people was about 3 percent lower. Asian Americans have maintained an even higher vaccination rate than white Americans, well above 70 percent of all adults. Recently, the gaps have begun to narrow, but disparities still remain, especially at the state level. As the chart below shows, Black people make up 12 percent of the US population but only account for 9 percent of people who have received at least one dose of the vaccine. (emphasis added)
